Top positive review

Goes on matte but needs blotting later

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2021

Positives:
+ Sprays on matte
+ Easy to apply - encourages reapplication (important!)
+ Does not disrupt make up
+ Hyaluronic acid is a great moisturiser, you'll need it in the sun!

Negatives:
- By the end pf the day I found my skin was much greasier than normal
- Although it seemed fine for my eyes at first, eventually it did start to sting if I rubbed my eyes
- Only three star UVA protection, generally 4 stars is recommended

Summary:
If you wear make up and/or tend to be lazy about reapplying, I recommend using this spray. Later in the day you will have to blot and you will have to take care not to rub your eyes when you're tired. Bearing in mind that reapplying sunscreen is often overlooked, these are small compromises to ensure you're properly protected.

Tip:
This sunscreen is great value for the face, but body mists are cheaper/larger bottles. Use this one for the face and find a cheaper mist for the body, where you don't need the mattifying element so much.

Ani

unreliable sun protection on it's own.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2017

I bought this sun screen spray to apply over my makeup as a top up during the day and to set my face makeup. I usually wear another suncream underneath my makeup.
Im asian-tan skin.Very mild acne. Very sensitive and prone to hypermigmentation and sunspots. I wear suncream all year round.

Unfortunately my usual suncream had run out (I buy online as it's very difficult for me to find a reasonably priced suncream that doesn't leave a white cast or break me out) So I did not have an extra protection for about 2 weeks. My foundation has spf20 and then I was using this as added protection ontop.

PROS:
No White-cast
Easy to Apply over make up
Light weight
Did not break me out like other suncreams
Reasonably priced per ml compared to La Roche Posay/ Avene/Eucerine sun spray mists.

It did 'set' my makeup somewhat. And definitely did not seem to break me out. However, I do not feel I can't rely on this solely as a sun protection. The two weeks I had used this without my usual suncream, I developed hyper pigmentation on my forehead and 2 sun spots on my nose. I have an oily t-zone so I'm guessing this just sweated-off.

CONS:
Not Sweat Proof/waterproof
Runs out quickly (I had about 2.5 weeks daily use of 2-3 times a day)
Unreliable sun protection on it's own
Cannot tell if all areas have been sprayed properly as there is little/no wet mist.

You can't tell if you've applied it correctly. I spray it about 10-15cm all over my face and neck. But you can't really feel anything or see anything.
It's ok for topping up during the day over your makeup. But do not rely on it on it's own. It's a good concept, but the actual spa element could be improved. I will not buy again and look for alternatives.

Good protection

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2021

The only reason I rated this 4 stars was because when you spray it it leaves a white tinge that you need to rub in. Obviously that’s fine with normal sun cream. However this is advertised to go over make up and if I wanted to look like casper the friendly ghost - I would have just gone for a lighter shade of foundation! I do like the product and do use it everyday. Overall I think it is actually a little pricey considering how much you get through in a can even when only applying to your face. But it’s great to have in your bag and easy to apply. I would recommend this production but be careful when applying over make up not to smudge.

Does the job!

Product is not greasy but when sprayed it leaves tiny white blobs which is a bit annoying especially as its a spray over make up. You don't need to use too much though and I didn't get burnt so I guess it does the job!

Good price but for a reason. Read on.

I have to use facto fifty with high UVA level. Didn't notice on site but this only has three star protection. Four star is recommended. Easy to apply but be very careful around eyes. I sweat heavily and if this gets in the eyes it is pretty uncomfortable. I have had a word with the bloke that designed human faces. More attention needed to eyebrows ! Not too effective.

This gave me a shock when I first sprayed it! From the video it looks like a soft mist but it's quite strong lol. It does the job you just have to spray carefully. I feel like I've wasted quite a bit spraying past the side of my face while my eyes are closed.

I like how this sunscreen feels on my skin, it did not feel heavy or tacky on my skin, and seemed to absorb well. While some sunscreens feel unconfortable, this does not. It also works well, and protected my skin from burning, I apply it at the beggning of the day underneath my make up, and it is barely noticible, my make up goes on fine over it.

It did not clog up my pores, or give me any spots, which other products have done before.

You have to be carefull with it when you spray it though, I got some in my hair, which made it look really greasy.

Does the job but stings

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 June 2021

Great product and very “unique”. Doesn’t affect makeup at all, ZERO white cast and a very pleasant smell. However, it does make your eyes sting a bit. It’s not that feeling that you want to go and wash your face off but after a while it’s a little annoying. It’s a really handy size too and the spray very fine so you can spray on your arms as well without rubbing.

It works but...

The product does really work and it's brilliant but having used it I wouldn't say that it is good value for the tiny product you get. Won't be ordering again as just doesn't fit my lifestyle enough.

It's a good product, the scent isn't too strong and it is light weight however I'd you have peach fuzz it will show a bit. I usually tap the product In after applying.i typically apply this every two hours, on top of my skincare routine consists of serum, silicon based primer and sunscreen.

Nice spf

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 July 2021

Verified Purchase

I struggle to find face spf that don't make my eyes sting but so far so good with this one. I use it as a top up during the day, it's easy to spray on and feels nice and cool. Not sure I'd use it on days where I'd expect to be sweating a lot, just for the eye sting risk but otherwise am happy with this.
